you can use old (commercial) 68k programs for Amiga
I like FinalWriter for example
Yes, there are some word processors out there, e.g. AmigaWriter...
But it is hard to check your OS compliance while some prerequisites list just mandatory hardware... A bit confusing for a person not wanting to deal with such details because lacks some knowledge.
What I meant was sure, there are some software outlets on the web but I miss something like Apple has - central software repository.
Of course it is purely commercial (I mean the one on Apple website) and is a part of company's policy - to provide the users of a minor share platform with as much software as possible. Others like version tracker exist as well.
I think Amiga software is too much distributed throughout various shops. One needs a single place to store the info about it. All the more about recent Amiga OSes, there is a very small amount of users, compared for Mac users base. So the need is even more crucial.
While some effort is being spent on maintaining numerous forums and other A-devoted sites, I wonder why there's no such place in the web. Not mentioning there's no single place to store software for ALL Amiga platforms...
I mean it happens but if one considers the software I am mainly talking about is proprietary... I mean how are like new OS4 users supposed to get their desktop apps? Why? It seems strange to me really because it all impacts the whole story negatively.
